I live in Mandalay now, encouraged a little by his setting of Road to Mandalay. I hung out with Pete in the early 1970s. We too spent time laughing late into the night when we should have been sleeping.

I always remember Peter with his blonde hair and never far from a guitar and singing. I spent many happy hours in the Bellamy household and very often spent the night too, laughing and giggling with Marion when we should have been going to sleep!!!! Having found his music on line I shall now listen to it too, I still remember his distinctive voice from 60yrs ago.

Fri, 25 Aug 2017 11:09:21 +0000http://www.bookofdaystales.com/?p=2816#comment-571612It all gets deeper and deeper. I’m glad my post generated this kind of interest. I don’t have the time, nor the ability, to watch documentaries, I’m afraid. I work in Myanmar these days, and it’s about as much as I can do to get WiFi to work. The most I can say about the internet where I live is that it’s better than China — which is not saying much.

Fri, 25 Aug 2017 04:36:42 +0000http://www.bookofdaystales.com/?p=2816#comment-571601Have you watched the new successful documentary film POCAHONTAS DOVE OF PEACE made by CBN Jamestown launched in USA in November 2016 that was nominated for three Emmy Film Awards at Los Angeles on April 28th 2017 so film Director Amy Reid attended the red carpet ceremonies? This film is excellent with some very interesting commentaries especially by Rappahannock Chief Anne Nelson Richardson who was at the 400 Memorial Service with two other American Indian Chiefs Adams and Chief Adkins and other families and schools + 50 Americans with other interesting history lectures by senior executive Mr David Givens -Rediscovery Dig Jamestown and exhibitions at Gravesend St Georges Church special Pocahontas memorial service on March 21st 2017 . There is more information archives still being found in England that would make a new second history archive film. Dorothea Rolfe and her second husband Dr Robert Redmaynes two WILLS are preserved with all their births marriages deaths births in Heacham St Mary’s Church Parish record books including his grandparents and John Rolfe (senior and junior) and his twin Eustacius Rolfe at Norwich County Hall Records office not far from the Norwich Cathedral where his stepfather Dr Robert Redmayne worked for 37 years as the Chancellor for five bishops This included his relative Bishop of Norwich Cathedral Rev William Redman from 1595-1602 who died and is buried with a family memorial in the chancel at Great Shelford Church Cambridge .Francis Rolfe (born 1615) cousin of Pocahontas son Thomas Rolfe from Narford Hall Red Lodge has two grandchildren Julian Rolfe and his sister Sarah Rolfe later buried in Norwich Cathedral with a special plaque as Julian Rolfe was also a lawyer at the Cathedral Many of the Rolfes were important leaders in the Atlantic shipping and Ernest Neville Rolfe later was an Admiral in the Royal Navy in the 1800’s and church warden at Westminster Abbey where there is a plaque-Pocahontas family helped John Rolfes first tobacco plantations were important as entrepreneurs in changing history and taking new trades and exchanging new ideas to other nations with its successful trade to Europe in the past four centuries-as they would not have known about its nicotine carcinogenic problems that can cause lung cancer and in World War 11 many servicemen were grateful for their pipes and tobacco. Tobacco plants are now being used for developing ten new important medical drugs including ZMAPP for Ebola that saved the lives of two American doctors treating patients in West Africa in 2013- It would be great news if all these new tobacco plant drugs are successful and can save more lives especially for HIV and Norovirus and Malaria and Cancer and for treating tendons injuries

Thu, 24 Aug 2017 21:10:24 +0000http://www.bookofdaystales.com/?p=2816#comment-571589Your first portrait of Pocahontas and Thomas rolfe was hanging at SEDGFORD HALL in the next village for many years where other Rolfes lived in the 1800 and 1900’s and they gave it to Kings Lynn Museum and it is huge and beautiful with ornate gold frame hanging on the staircase at the Town Hall-that is the Old Guildhall in Kings Lynn next to St Margaret’s Church close to BOAL QUAY and THORESBY COLLEGE where John Smith worked as a junior clerk aged 15 for Sir Thomas Sendall the Mayor of Kings Lynn and a successful wine merchant -His home is near the old CORN EXCHANGE called the TUDOR ROSE INN next door to the old Bishops House that is close to the other old Kings Lynn church St Nicholas and TRUES YARD -now a Fisherman museum -so they would all have known each other as the populations were much smaller . Look on old maps dated 1648 on google as the sea was tidal up to Cambridge and Huntingdon and Peterborough with the Isle of Ely as an island so farmers with ships traded very successfully selling sheep and wool and fresh food and building materials that made Norfolk wealthy villages in these MINI ICE AGE STARVING TIMES with freezing winters and drought summers for more than seven years so clean water and food was scarce

Thu, 24 Aug 2017 20:54:19 +0000http://www.bookofdaystales.com/?p=2816#comment-571588I live in Heacham West Norfolk England where John Rolfes parents and grandparents are buried inside St Mary’s Church with 19 other Rolfes in the past 4 centuries and 45 Rolfes are buried in the own private walled family burial garden many important famous names . John Rolfe’s father John Rolfe (senior) died young aged only 32 a very successful farmer and his mother Dorothea Rolfe married a few months later in the Heacham St Mary’s Church in April 1594 Dr Robert Redmayne who was a successful Cambridge Lawyer and the Chancellor of Norwich Cathedral for 37 years and for FIVE Bishops who died in 1625 aged 70 and has a huge ornate tomb beside John Rolfe’s parents and the Rolfes and Redmaynes would have traded in their family ships and horses and carriages around Norfolk and Cambridgeshire and to Boston Lincs England as when Princess Pocahontas and John Rolfe visited England with their toddler son Thomas Rolfe in 1616 -1617 she has an old Inn there named after her INDIAN QUEEN when they all stayed and another in Cornwall north of Truro where they stayed overnight as their TREASURER ship hit stormy weather off Lands End in June 1616 so landed urgently diverted to Falmouth not Plymouth -hence it is now the name of the Cornwall village. They then visited London staying at the Bell Inn renamed BELLE SAUVAGE INN near St Pauls Cathedral then travelled to relatives and grandma Dorothea in Heacham in the nine months where Pocahontas planted an old mulberry tree still growing at their farm at HEACHAM HALL now the Heacham Manor Hotel and she probably travelled to Narford Hall Red Lodge where Uncle Edmund Rolfe and baby son Francis Rolfe lived born 1615 and their family later raised Anne Rolfe (Elisabeth Washington and Thomas Rolfes daughter) as Anne Rolfe married Peter Elwin and they named their first child FOUNTAIN that is the family surname now at Narford Hall and dates from 1600’s and the Tuttington Rolfes also looked after Anne Rolfe (Washington ) who was Thomas Rolfe Elisabeths daughter who died at her birth so he returned to his birthplace at Varina Henricho in Virginia aged about 23 .The REDMAYNE land /park at Norwich TROWSE is used for the Norwich Cathedral School Playing Fields and for new homes built in 2003 for families and for REDMAYNE VIEW Retirement home for 40 elderly residents. Pocahontas was given a 1617 bible by Queen Anne and King James 1 after she visited Whitehall Palace on Twelfth night January 6th 1617 for a Masque Ball especially written by Ben Johnson Vision of Delight original script is in British Library and John Rolfes fathers Geneva 1580 bible turned up on their wedding anniversary 400th celebrations on April 6th 2014 displayed at Jamestown preserved at Williamsburg University Library archives with a letter inside from Rev Seymour Landen explaining that Thomas Rolfe did not collect it so his family gave it to the library as it is historically very important and the second oldest bible in America . These bibles should now finish their journeys to the correct families after 400 years
